Wishful Things

"Yes." Xia Tingzhen said: "That day after I left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I ran into a Taoist boy from Xuanqing Hall who was in a hurry. The empress gave the Anshen Xiangwan pills, and she seemed a little suspicious when she answered... I was about to test it out, but was delayed because His Royal Highness happened to appear—"

Emperor Qingming frowned.

"At that time, the officials did not pay much attention to this matter, but at that time, the news of Duke Zhen's 'serious illness' had only just returned to Beijing. If you think about it boldly, someone managed to send this medicinal material out of the palace at that time. It makes sense..."

"Based on this...the empress and the national teacher are both suspected?" Emperor Qingming's eyes were dark and unfathomable as he spoke.

"What about the queen, I dare not speak nonsense." Xia Tingzhen looked calm: "But the national teacher came to ask for medicine that day, no matter the timing or other things, it was indeed too coincidental—"

Emperor Qingming laughed suddenly when he heard the words.

If talking about the relationship with the Xu family, his queen is much more suspicious than the national teacher!

It's hard to say for the Wu family, but the queen's heart is probably still in the Xu family...

There are some things he is not ignorant of...

But he never felt any jealousy or ignorant jealousy because of this... On the contrary, he felt very relieved!

I still remember the feeling of being able to control everything that he had never had before—what about a century-old family, what about the love between the two, and in the end, didn't he have to obey the order and enter the palace?

The reason why he asked to marry the daughter of the Wu family was not only because he wanted to tie the Wu family to him, but also because he could not just sit back and watch the Wu and Xu families get married—

The Wu family did send their daughter to the palace, but his goal was not achieved, because the facts proved that even though he married a legitimate daughter, the Wu family still had a very high attitude and never took him seriously!

On the other hand, he has treated the queen with all kinds of love and affection over the years, it can be said that he has given her all the dignity he can give!

If she is as peaceful as she appears on the surface...

And if he really dared to oppose him in secret and betray him...he would never keep this bitch anymore!

The emperor's eyes were filled with darkness: "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly..."

After talking like this for more than a quarter of an hour, Xia Tingzhen just resigned and left.

The night outside the hall was still dark.

As soon as Xia Tingzhen stepped down the stone steps, she saw an imperial physician approaching her.

Imperial Physician Zheng stopped and saluted: "Xia Shoufu."

Xia Tingzhen nodded slightly, but did not stop.

The emperor invited the imperial physician to come here at this time, and the reason is obvious.

It would be great if we can find out something—even if there is no problem with the pill, but who is behind the national teacher? If the emperor wants to dig deeper, he may not be able to find any clues...

If Taoist Xuanqing and Ji Xiu can be completely eliminated, it will also solve his heart problems.

And even if that step is not reached, the emperor has never found any abnormalities, Taoist Xuanqing is destined to be rarely reused by the emperor in the future... You must know that His Majesty's paranoia has long been terminally ill, and it has become worse recently, but anything that is not good for oneself Once you listen to it, it will really be engraved in your mind.

"I don't know if His Majesty summoned my ministers late at night, but what's wrong with the dragon's body?"

In the hall, Imperial Physician Zheng bowed and saluted, and asked respectfully and with concern.

It’s okay not to be respectful and caring. After all, you can’t say: Is it annoying to keep people from sleeping in the middle of the night?

"I'm fine. The reason I invited Imperial Physician Zheng over is because I want Imperial Physician Zheng to take a look at something." While Emperor Qingming was speaking, an internal eunuch came to Imperial Physician Zheng holding a five-pointed embroidered auspicious cloud brocade box the size of a palm. .

"Emperor Doctor Zheng is also an old man in the Imperial Medical Office, what medicinal materials are in this elixir, please ask the imperial physician to carefully identify and examine it for me."

To ask him to do a drug test?

Imperial Physician Zheng answered "Yes" and took the brocade box.

The smell of the brown elixir is the same, and it has a faint fragrance after being crushed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this elixir. Most of the medicines used are Gastrodia elata, white mustard seed, Cyperus cyperi, old ginseng and other things that promote blood circulation and warm up."

If he remembers correctly, this elixir should be the pot that the national teacher just refined not long ago, and it had already been sent to the Imperial Medical Office for examination at that time, otherwise it would not have been sent to Yangxin Hall come.

"Is there nothing else?" Emperor Qingming asked with unclear eyes: "I would like to know whether there is Ganoderma lucidum in this pill—"

"Lingxizhi?" Imperial Physician Zheng was a little surprised and puzzled, but in the end he just shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the elixir is different from other medicines. Due to the long refining time and the fusion of medicinal materials, it is not Everything can be clearly identified... As for the Ganoderma lucidum mentioned by His Majesty, I have never used it personally, and I don't know its medicinal properties, so it is even more impossible to identify..."

But... Your Majesty wants to know the formula of the elixir, why not ask the teacher directly?

And if he could know all the recipes at a glance—with the ability to learn the secret recipes with bare hands, why should he stay in this palace and worry about it?

Emperor Qingming still did not give up: "Who in the imperial medical office has used this Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Although this medicine is a great tonic, its properties are also quite special. You should not take it casually... Now in the Imperial Medical Office, I have never heard of anyone who has used it..." Zheng Taiyi thought about it, and said: "Really Speaking of which, I only remember that when I first entered the imperial medical office, I saw imperial physician Qiao used it to prepare tonics for the late emperor, but that was twenty years ago."

The Imperial Physician Qiao who was so famous at that time and was the most popular in the Imperial Medical Office, has long since passed away——such a genius, why can't he think about it so much?

Joe Bing?

Emperor Qingming's eyes sparkled——

That's right, maybe it's time for him to invite Doctor Qiao to come...

There is no way to tell whether there is Ganoderma lucidum in the pill, but he should be the most clear about whether Ganoderma lucidum is needed to dissolve the poison prepared by himself...

After Imperial Physician Zheng left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he quietly wiped off his cold sweat.

Sleepless in the middle of the night competes with pills——

I always feel that His Majesty's mental state is getting more and more worrying...

Not long after Imperial Physician Zheng left, a lacquered wooden box was smoothly carried into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Looking at the wooden box carried into the palace by two guards, Xiao Chenzi's heart tightened secretly.

This box again...

In the past, he didn't know what was in the box, but since he learned that there was indeed such a person hidden in the dark court, he had an answer in his heart.

Especially from the moment when the inner eunuch who came out of the palace left to the time when the box was brought up, the time in between was just enough to go back and forth to the dark court...

He had followed that road secretly, and walked alone, and he would never make a wrong estimate.

And the empress once confessed that if she sees something suspicious being carried into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she needs to send a letter to Yukun Palace in time.

The empress also said that if the person who was hidden in the dark court was summoned by the emperor again, he would probably be in danger...
